While I post some public entries (primarily so that they'll get copied to my Facebook as notes), the really juicy ones are friends-only. If you want to read them, then you'll have to reveal yourself and comment to be added as a friend.

For those of you who already are: nothing to see here, move along.

[Current Music |Sigur Ros - Inni mer syngur vitleysingur]

To those of you who work desk jobs (specifically, programming jobs): does music help you concentrate?

I ask because I think it does for me (occasionally pink noise helps more, depends on my mood), and my boss thinks it's a distraction.

So I'm curious: do you listen to music while you work? if so, to what?

(a few sources from my research on the topic that was interesting: ask ycombinator & thinking in the shower as an ideal model for 'creative pause')

i'm a fatty [Apr. 29th, 2009|08:12 am]

[Current Mood | hungry]

I'm going to turn into a blob. This is what I ate yesterday:

Breakfast (at the hotel):
multivitamin
small blueberry muffin (~259 cal, 114 fat cal, 13g fat, 2g saturated fat)
small corn muffin (~201 cal, 49 fat cal, 6g fat, 1g saturated fat)
8oz coffee, 2 sugar 1 cream (50 cal, 18 fat cal, 2g fat)
subtotal: 510 cal, 181 fat cal, 21g fat, 3g sat fat

Lunch (Backyard Burger):
32oz bottle of blue powerade (200 cal)
bacon cheddar burger (620 cal, 378 fat cal, 42g fat, 17g sat fat)
regular order of seasoned fries (260 cal, 144 fat cal, 16g fat, 5g sat fat)
16oz sweet tea (130 cal)
subtotal: 1210 cal, 522 fat cal, 58g fat, 23g sat fat

Dinner (Bojangles'):
chicken leg (254 cal, 135 fat cal, 15g fat)
chicken thigh (308 cal, 189 fat cal, 21g fat)
biscuit (243 cal, 108 fat cal, 12g fat, 3g sat fat)
macaroni & cheese (198 cal, 126 fat cal, 14g fat, 5g sat fat)
seasoned fries (344 cal, 171 fat cal 19g fat, 5g sat fat)
sweet cinnamon biscuit (320 cal, 162 fat cal, 18g fat, 4g sat fat)
quarter-gallon of sweet tea (260 cal)
subtotal: 1927 cal, 891 fat cal, 99g fat, 17g sat fat

total: 3647 cal, 1591 fat cal, 178g fat, 43g sat fat

Just DINNER is enough to feed a person for a day. And even though I knew I was being excessive with what I ordered for dinner, I didn't realize I was already at 1700 cal just through lunch. No wonder everyone in our country is overweight, its _really_ easy to overeat.

The Aftermath, and Verdict, originally uploaded by nitsky416.

The chicken was good, even with nothing on it. The biscuit was bleh, prolly could've used some jam or butter. The seasoned fries were delicious. The mac-n-cheese was definitely better than any fast food stuff I've ever had, and pretty good even if it'd been homemade. The tea was good at first, but it was practically crunchy from all the sugar in it. It got kinda bleh.



I had to use my PB&J knife, since I forgot to get a fork.

The biscuit was pretty mediocre.

Three wings, a biscuit, seasoned fries and mac & cheese. And yes, that is a half-gallon of sweet tea. Total cost: $7.77. Is it my lucky day?

Took forever. Service was slow and they were out of thighs and breasts, said it would take 13 minutes so I went with the three wing dinner instead.

Yeah, a lot closer than I thought.



Also, fixed the posting layout. Yay. Too bad I only took a video, wanted to show that I could see the hotel from the Bojangles' parking lot D:

[Current Music |Mozart - Contredanses (2)]

A student was playing a handheld video game during a class.
The teacher called on the student and asked him what he was doing.
The student replied that he was trying to master the game.
The teacher said, "There exists a state in which you will not attempt to master the game, and the game will not attempt to master you."
The student asked, "What is this state?"
The teacher said, "Give me your video game, and I will show you."
The student gave him the game, and the teacher threw it to the ground, breaking it into pieces. The student was enlightened.

Goodbye, internets.

And no, the irony that I found this during a Wikipedia wander is not lost on me.
